The push to grant non-citizens a right to vote was spurred on as a resistance measure against President Trump, who has actually decided to enforce immigration laws.

State Assemblymember David Chiu wrote an op-ed in support of the measure prior to the third vote, saying “As Trumpist rhetoric continues to spew xenophobia, we have an obligation to stand up against that national tide and for inclusivity.”

Harmeet Dhillon, Republican National Committeewoman from California, disagrees with allowing non-citizens to vote and voted against the measure.

“The reason I voted against it is that I think the right to vote is something that goes along with citizenship and should be,” she told ABC 7 News.
